Install Docker Machine

Docker Machine is supported on Windows, OS X, and Linux and is installable as one standalone binary. The links to the binaries for the various platforms and architectures are available at the Github Release page.

OS X and Linux

To install on OS X or Linux, download the proper binary to somewhere in your PATH (e.g. /usr/local/bin) and make it executable. For instance, to install on most OS X machines these commands should suffice:

$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.3.0/docker-machine_darwin-amd64 > /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine

For Linux, just substitute "linux" for "darwin" in the binary name above.

Now you should be able to check the version with docker-machine -v:

$ docker-machine -v
machine version 0.3.0

In order to run Docker commands on your machines without having to use SSH, make sure to install the Docker client as well, e.g.:

$ curl -L https://get.docker.com/builds/Darwin/x86_64/docker-latest > /usr/local/bin/docker
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker

Windows

Currently, Docker recommends that you install and use Docker Machine on Windows with msysgit. This will provide you with some programs that Docker Machine relies on such as ssh, as well as a functioning shell.

When you have installed msysgit, start up the terminal prompt and run the following commands. Here it is assumed that you are on a 64-bit Windows installation. If you are on a 32-bit installation, please substitute "i386" for "x86_64" in the URLs mentioned.

First, install the Docker client binary:

$ curl -L https://get.docker.com/builds/Windows/x86_64/docker-latest.exe > /bin/docker

Next, install the Docker Machine binary:

$ curl -L https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.3.0/docker-machine_windows-amd64.exe > /bin/docker-machine

Now running docker-machine should work.

$ docker-machine -v
machine version 0.3.0
